Bush at War : Inside the Bush White House
With his unmatched investigative skill, Bob Woodward tells the behind-the-scenes story of how President George W. Bush and his top national security advisers, after the initial shock of the September 11 attacks, led the nation to war. Extensive quotations from the secret deliberations of the National Security Council - -- and firsthand revelations of the private thoughts, concerns and fears of the president and his war cabinet - -- make Bush at War an unprecedented chronicle of a modern presidency in time of grave crisis. Based on interviews with more than a hundred sources and four hours of exclusive interviews with the president, Bush at War reveals Bush's sweeping, almost grandiose, vision for remaking the world. "I'm not a textbook player, I'm a gut player," the president said. Woodward's virtual wiretap into the White House Situation Room reveals a stunning group portrait of an untested president and his advisers, three of whom might themselves have made it to the presidency. In Bush at War, Bob Woodward once again delivers a reporting tour de force.

One can say that the difference between a newspaper and a history book is that a newspaper is useless the next day, but a history book stays relevant for years afterwards. Following this logic, I would classify Woodward's "Bush at War"...

- Good Book
I wouldn't describe this as the best book I have ever read, however, it did give me a great deal of insight as to what occurred in the White House after 9/11. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the war in Afghanistan.

- The takedown of the Taliban and the preparation for war in Iraq.
This is a behind the seens picture of how the Bush Administration reacted to the events of 9/11/01. Bush did not initially want to do nation building but in the wake of 9/11/01, they were forced to do so by the conflict in Afghanistan...
